Outline
The MOP-GL12864F is controlled using a standard SED1520 compliant controller. The display is enabled
by pulling the Enable (E) pin high, communication to and from the device is controlled by pulling the
Read/Write (R/W) line high or low respectively, and the unit may be reset at power up by pulling the
reset (RST) line low. Using Register Select (RS), either the data register or command register is selected
by toggling RS high or low respectively.
Before any data is read or written, the status of the display controller should be read. This is
accomplished by setting RS low, R/W high, E high, and reading the status byte that appears on the data
lines. Each bit of the status word indicates a specific condition, outlined below.
